The Church of St. Vincent, a petite structure with origins dating back to 1189-1280, displays charming Hamstone accents and is crowned by a clay tile roof. Its walls are constructed from lias rubble. Remarkably, the church doesn't possess a tower; rather, it boasts an uncommon 'lantern' bellcote, thought to have been appended in the late 15th or early 16th century. In 1878, the church underwent a restoration process.

St Vincent's is a pretty parish church that dates to the 13th century. The Grade I-listed building retains some original architectural features, as well as many additions from the 14th and 15th centuries. The interior includes box pews, pulpit and an octagonal font from the 1600s.

Although lacking a tower, it has a rare ‘lantern’ bellcote, likely added in the late 15th or early c16th

The recent dating of the treble bell (1290) makes it quite a remarkable piece quite possibly one of the oldest still hanging in England.
